All Things Christmas

By
Like I even remember Christmas at this point. 
I'll give it my best shot.

We got our tree at Costco again, it is just such a steal of a deal.  Plus the unavailing is pretty exciting.  This year daddy and grandpa p went together which meant there was no room for all of us AND 2 trees so we let daddy pick the winner.  And boy did he pick a perfect tree!!

My little helper as we started decorating the house.

We woke up early on December 1st so we made these bad boys while we waited for daddy and Ri to wake up.  We are kind of addicted to advents over here so the kids were super excited to have another one.

P-man helping decorate our beautiful tree.

My name is Rebecca and I have a problem.  A children's book problem.  If you are looking for any Christmas books at the library you wont find any because they are all here.  : / But we are happy to share.  

Um... Best. Stuff. EVER!  Seriously, WAAAYYYYY better than regular eggnog.

We got some last minute tickets to the Nutcracker on Temple Hill.  I took P and Em and Jeff stayed home with Riley.  It was so much fun.  The kids did great!  They still talk about it.  I can't wait to go again next year!

Checking out the awesome lights after the show.  It was FREEZING!  But such a fun night with these two.

Our best friends invited us over to make gingerbread houses.  These were legit too.  Made from scratch and more candy than you can imagine.  It was so fun! Thanks friends!

Home made pepermint oreos a.k.a. woopie pies a.k.a. heaven in a cookie.

Our little elf hiding in our scripture a day advent.

Ward party and a visit from Santa.  Ri would not take her eyes off of him.

Puppets of Praise, one of our favorite traditions that we go to with Granny and Gramps.  It is so fun and such a great little show that also includes the true meaning of Christmas.  We love it!

Me and my beauties on Christmas Sunday.

Christmas morning and almost matching pjs.  Christmas with kids is the best!

My absolute favorite Christmas decor.  This Nativity is my all time favorite.  It just somehow captures the peace, humble circumstance, reverence, and awe of the birth.  And I love that even from the very beginning Christmas was and always will be about family.

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

By
Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

By
A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
